More satellite images captured on 24 June and published by Maxar Technologies show craters and damaged buildings at the Fordo nuclear site that were not visible in the aftermath of US strikes.

The Fordo enrichment facility, buried underground in a mountain side near the city of Qom, was struck with US bunker-buster munitions on 22 June, resulting in two groups of three large craters.

A day after the US strikes, Israel said it had struck Fordo again - targeting access routes to the facility. The attack was later confirmed by Iranian authorities.

After the Israeli strike, the Maxar image shows a destroyed installation north of the facility. It’s believed the strikes were intended to make these sites difficult to reach and repair.

We’re continuing to bring you satellite images showing damage to Iran’s nuclear sites following US and Israeli strikes.

The Isfahan Nuclear Technology Centre, located south-east of the city of Isfahan, is Iran’s main nuclear research centre. It also houses a uranium conversion facility where natural uranium is converted into material that can be enriched at facilities in Natanz and Fordo.

The complex was struck at least twice by Israel. It was then targeted by the US on 22 June, resulting in more extensive damage across the complex with multiple scorch marks visible.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the effects of the US strikes on Iran, apparently referencing the uranium conversion facility at Isfahan: “You can’t do a nuclear weapon without a conversion facility, we can’t even find where it is, where it used to be on the map - because the whole thing is just blackened out… it’s gone… wiped out.”

The site is still easily visible in the latest Maxar image - but it does show extensive destruction to a large number of buildings around the conversion site.

Turning away from our main story for a moment and we’ve had new figures which show that three-quarters of cars speed in 20mph zones in England when there’s nothing on the road to slow them down.

Policies to restrict vehicle speeds to 20mph are widespread in England and the rest of the UK,, external and safety campaigners say these limits are associated with reduced road casualties and fatalities.

The Department for Transport collected the data, external from automated traffic counters - those little strips across the road you sometimes bump over when driving.

The figures cover “free flowing” zones, which are roads with no speed cameras, sharp bends, junctions or traffic calming measures.

The figures also show a record number of people getting fixed penalty notices for speeding (2.5 million) and going on speed awareness courses (1.8 million).

We’ll ask experts to help us interpret the data so that we can give you a full report later.

We’ve been looking at satellite imagery from Maxar Technologies that was taken on Tuesday 24 June - the day that Iran and Israel agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire.

The images show previously unseen damage near tunnel entrances at Iran’s Isfahan Nuclear Technology Centre after it was hit by the US at the weekend. We'll bring you more on those images shortly.

Other satellite photos - such as the one above - reveal previously unseen damage at a university in north-eastern Tehran which has been linked to the nuclear programme. We can also see damage at an area adjacent to a major airport west of the capital.

Satellite images are particularly helpful in analysing the damage caused by the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel as the BBC is not allowed to operate freely in Iran.

BBC Verify has received a new set of satellite images overnight showing Iran’s nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz.

These were the sites targeted by the US military at the weekend using B-2 bombers and cruise missiles, and have also been targeted by Israeli air strikes. US President Donald Trump has insisted that the American attack left the facilities “completely destroyed”.

High resolution satellite images released by Maxar Technologies show damage to buildings both under and above ground and their access roads and tunnels.

Our team has started analysing the images to understand the extent of damage and how the latest strikes affect the use of these sites. We’re also sending them to experts outside the BBC for their take on what the images show.

Good morning from the team in the London newsroom.

We're currently working through new satellite imagery of Iran’s nuclear sites following the weekend’s US bombings and subsequent Israeli air attacks.

We’ve sent the pictures to a number of experts to get their analysis of the damage. It’s especially timely given a leaked intelligence report suggested the US operation may have only set Iran’s nuclear programme back by months.

Elsewhere we’re waiting on new data showing the percentage of cars in England that break the speed limit. Last year's figures showed around four-fifths broke the limit in 20mph zones and nearly half on 30mph roads.

And we’re across the Nato summit in the Netherlands and the continuing debate about boosting the amount members spend on defence.
